Synopsis:

Au pair and ex-pat Isabelle Beausejour has been living abroad
for most of her twenty-four years, traveling the world with her irresponsible
father. When Isabelle finds herself stranded in Bangkok, with no job, no money,
and nowhere to turn, she soon becomes desperate.

Intelligence officer Garrett Downing is on the
hunt for military goods that have gone missing. Instead, he finds himself
coming to the aid of a young woman with more resourcefulness than common sense.

Isabelle has no choice but to accept a
stranger’s help in getting home. Once there, however, as enemies turn into
lovers, it soon becomes a game of keeping secrets. Garrett is more than he
seems. Isabelle knows more than she’s willing to admit. Will she choose loyalty
to her father over the love of a man who tells lies for a living?

The rain continued to pour. The inside of the van became the
entire world, and he filled every inch of it. She eased her fingers from
beneath his touch.

He hadn’t taken his eyes off her.

“You’ve been avoiding me,” he said.

“And you’ve let me.”

“No,” he corrected her. “I’ve been giving you space. But something
happened today. I’d like to know what it was.”

Isabelle’s mouth went dry, her heart hammering so loud she was
certain he must hear it over the steady drumming of the rain. She’d made her
decision. Now she had to live with it. She hadn’t told her father that she
believed CSIS was searching for him. She wasn’t telling Garrett anything more
than she already had, either. She didn’t want to choose sides between them.

She turned her face away and looked at the streaming driver’s side
window so she wouldn’t have to meet his eyes and read the disappointment in
them. When she spoke, she was as honest with him as she could be. “I have
nothing to tell you.”

He cupped her chin in firm fingers and forced her to look at him.
His expression was grave, but he’d shut down his thoughts so she couldn’t read
them. The creases around his mouth, so evident when he smiled, had smoothed. He
dropped a light kiss on her lips.

“I guess this is it, then,” he said.

She swallowed hard against the painful lump in her throat. She’d
known from the beginning there could never be anything of significance between
them. She hadn’t expected to fall in love with him.

The rain slowed, then stopped altogether. The sun burst through a
break in the clouds. Regret burned at the backs of her eyes. “I wish things
could have been different.”

He let go of her and settled back in the passenger seat, six feet
of rugged male indifference wrapped in a white Henley shirt and wheat-colored
Dockers.

“Put your right foot on the brake, start the engine, and slide the
gearshift into drive,” he said. “If you cut the wheels hard to the left, you
should be able to pull back onto the road with no problem at all. Stay clear of
the shoulder. It’ll be soft.”

Slowly, Isabelle maneuvered the van onto the dirt road. Muddy
water from the puddles sprayed off the tires as she stepped on the accelerator.
A minute later, they were on pavement again.

About Paula Altenburg

Multi-published author
Paula Altenburg grew up in rural Nova Scotia knowing that at some point in her
life she was likely to be a fiction writer. Swapping Louis L’Amour and Zane
Grey books with her father guaranteed she wasn’t going to be the next Jane Austen,
much to the dismay of her English teacher mother. A degree in Social
Anthropology from the University of King’s College and Dalhousie University in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, confirmed that writing was the most logical career path
for her.

She’s
worked in the Aerospace and Defense industry, which surprises everyone who
knows her. She writes because she can’t keep a secret, and getting to pass
everything off as fiction makes a good compromise. Happily married, with two
terrific sons, she continues to live in rural Nova Scotia but makes a point of
traveling as much as she can.
